CYTONOTE SCAN

The CYTONOTE SCAN, based on our patented lens-less imaging technology, is the simplest live cell-imaging system designed for recording cell movies and analyzing a variety of cell culture in parallel from inside the incubator. The innovative and patented “Lens-less imaging” technology pushes the boundaries of microscopy with its super wide field of view and its capability to capture and analyze precisely several thousands of cells without any focus and brightness settings. This technology simplifies the Live Cell Imaging technique and transforms the complex and expensive microscope method into a cost-effective solution.

The CYTONOTE SCAN is the simplest live cell-imaging system for multiwell plates designed for recording cell movies and analyzing a variety of cell culture from the incubator. The CYTONOTE SCAN is the perfect instrument for the monitoring of your Petri Dishes and 6, 12, 24, 96 and 384-well plate cell culture. The acquisition time between two measurements is 20 minutes by default, but you can change this time if you wish. By performing acquisitions over a given period of time you will be able to obtain time-lapses and movies of your cells.

As explained, no need to adjust focus, brightness or any other parameters, our algorithm will reconstruct cells wherever cells are located… from few micrometers to some millimeters! This characteristic makes the CYTONOTE SCAN an extremely robust device not fearing temperature variation, cells descent inside matrigel, or any other parameter which can affect traditional focus adjustment.

The CYTONOTE SCAN, with its wide field of view, converts all the data obtained into a single, representative image of the cell culture.

CYTONOTE SCAN images and results are analyzed using dedicated HORUS software.

HORUS is an application-oriented software package for determining confluence, cell size and cell tracking. Images are stored and can be viewed and zoomed at any time.
